facilitate this. Alearner-centered approach requires that students are engaged and become responsible for theirown learning process and that the instructor becomes a facilitator of their learning, instead ofbeing the center of their learning process. When I taught using the flipped-classroom learningenvironment, my students watched videos outside of the classroom and took online quizzes totest their understanding. In the classroom, students applied their learning by completingindividual or team activities and projects, with my guidance, on their own chosen topics ofinterest.The main problemThe main problem when you transition from one paradigm to another is that, as explained at thebeginning, your expertise and previous success in one paradigm, does
measurement schema. We set out to use the validated linkbetween overt behaviors and cognitive states to develop a tool that allowed students to report ontheir own cognitive engagement. As the ICAP theory suggests, cognitive engagement is influencedby the environment in which student learning takes place. Despite educators developingcurriculum (i.e. homework, projects, writing assignments, etc.) to influence student’s out-of-classenvironment, cognitive engagement outside the classroom is rarely addressed in the literature onSTEM students. One of the unique contributions of our instrument is the measurement of cognitiveengagement in two distinct environments: inside the classroom and outside the classroom. Wedeveloped a measurement schema that prompted

Furthermore, it was foundthat there is rarely a consensus within the department. Opinions ranged from making students usetables only to using software and covering tables just enough so students can pass the FEexamination.Of the twenty-five mechanical engineering departments surveyed, only six have an explicitpolicy. In four cases, students use tables only during their first thermodynamics course and areintroduced to software tools in subsequent courses. In the other cases, the course syllabussuggests the use of software to check homework and work projects. Of the remaining schools,professors in six make no explicit mention

aspects of a project. • Occasionally, the content of the article is restricted to a certain area related to some aspect of class, most commonly the class project. It is helpful for students to see how much diversity exists even within a restricted content area, and it is easier for the professor to manage the discussion in a way that promotes understanding of specific course material or assignments. However, student enthusiasm noticeably diminishes as content restrictions increase. • Occasionally, students are instructed to find an article in a technical journal (in print) rather than on the internet. Along with many other institutions,3,4 we have found that students automatically go to the internet
